4. What team did Patrick Roy not defeat in Colorado between the 1995-1996 and the 2001-2002 seasons?

Answer: Toronto

This is a bit of a trick question. Since 1995-1996, Roy has only played in one game against Toronto in Colorado. Toronto hasn't visited Denver since the 1998-1999 season . Toronto did not visit Denver in 2002-2003 either.

Joe Sakic won the Hart, Lady Byng, and Lester B. Person trophies. Shjon Podein won the King Clancy. Patrick Roy collected the Conn Smythe. The team won the Clarence Campbell Bowl, the Presidents Trophy and the Stanley Cup.

6. Florida Panthers goalie John Vanbiesbrouck was frazzled prior to game one of the Stanley Cup Finals in 1996 when the Avs challenged what about his equipment?

His tape was red. The league would only allow black or white at the time. The Avs went on to win the game 8-1.

7. Which of these players did NOT wear jersey number 14 for the Avalanche?

Answer: Warren Rychel

Rychel wore number 16 while he was with the Avs. Hannan and Fitzgerald were both brought in at the trading deadline to help the team and were gone the next season.

Answer: Columbus

10. What is the name of the man who apparently purchased the Colorado Avalanche from Ascent Sports only to have the deal nullified by a shareholder revolt?

Answer: Sturm

Forgotten him already huh? Shareholders thought Ascent president Charlie Lyons had cut himself a sweet deal with Sturm. The deal went far enough along that Sturm is featured as the new owner of the team in the 1999-2000 media guide.
